Gold is a crop mutation worth x20 the base sell value. It has a 1% chance to grow in place of the normal variant, and the Pig, Praying Mantis and Bacon Pig pets and sprinklers can raise that chance.
Gold — In-Depth Analysis
Gold does not wait for a weather event. According to the wiki, it has a 1% chance to grow in place of the normal variant, and the Pig, Praying Mantis and Bacon Pig pets and sprinklers can all raise that chance. It pays x20, which is #105 of 192, level with Withered, Eclipsed, Resplendent and Corrupt.
The closest comparison is Rainbow. It pays x50 with a 0.1% chance to replace the normal variant, boosted by the same three pets and by sprinklers. So Gold is ten times as common at baseline and Rainbow pays two and a half times as much.
The wiki's pet table also lists the Orchid Mantis next to Gold, together with Floral and Rainbow. Weather names with Gold in them, like Gold Gift or Sheckle Rain, are separate events and do not give the mutation.
